We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using data processors, we only transfer our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

5. Analysis Tools and Advertising

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Tag Manager is a tool that helps us integrate tracking or statistics tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies, or perform independent analyses. It serves only to manage and deploy the tools integrated through it. However, the Google Tag Manager does record your IP address, which may also be transmitted to Google’s parent company in the United States.

The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and easy integration and management of various tools on their website. If corresponding consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics allows website operators to analyze the behavior of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, time spent on the site, operating systems used, and the user’s origin. This data is aggregated into a user ID and assigned to the respective device of the website visitor.

Furthermore, we can use Google Analytics to record your mouse movements, scrolling, and clicks, among other things. Google Analytics also uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected data and employs machine learning technologies for data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable user recognition for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA.

The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfers to the USA are based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://business.safety.google/adscontrollerterms/sccs/ .

IP Anonymization

Google Analytics IP anonymization is activated. As a result, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, comcompile reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Google Signals

We use Google Signals. When you visit our website, Google Analytics collects, among other things, your location, search history, YouTube history, and demographic data (visitor data). This data can be used for personalized advertising with the help of Google Signals. If you have a Google account, the visitor data from Google Signals will be linked to your Google account and used for personalized advertising messages. The data is also used to create anonymized statistics on the user behavior of our users.

Order processing

We have entered into an order processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Google Analytics E-Commerce Measurement

This website uses the “E-commerce Measurement” feature of Google Analytics. E-commerce measurement allows the website operator to analyze the purchasing behavior of website visitors to improve their online marketing campaigns. Information such as orders placed, average order values, shipping costs, and the time from viewing to purchasing a product are collected. This data can be aggregated by Google under a transaction ID that is assigned to the respective user or their device.

Matomo

This website uses the open source web analytics service Matomo.

With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data about how visitors use our website. This allows us to determine, among other things, when page views occurred and from which region they originated. We also collect various log files (e.g., IP address, referrer, browser and operating system used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g., clicks, purchases, etc.).

The use of this analytics tool is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.

IP anonymization

We use IP anonymization for our Matomo analytics. This means your IP address is shortened before analysis, so it can no longer be uniquely associated with you.

Hosting

We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers, so all analytics data remains with us and is not shared.

Google Ads

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads allows us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when users enter specific search terms into Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on user data available to Google (e.g., location data and interests) (audience targeting). As website operators, we can quantitatively evaluate this data by, for example, analyzing which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many advertisements resulted in clicks.

The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

Google AdSense (non-personalized)

This website uses Google AdSense, a service for integrating advertisements. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use Google AdSense in “non-personalized” mode. Unlike personalized mode, the ads are not based on your previous browsing behavior, and no user profile is created. Instead, so-called “contextual information” is used to select the ads. The selected ads are then based, for example, on your location, the content of the website you are visiting, or your current search terms. You can find more information about the differences between personalized and non-personalized targeting with Google AdSense here: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/9007336

Please note that even when using Google AdSense in non-personalized mode, cookies or similar tracking technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) may be used. According to Google, these are used to combat fraud and abuse.

The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfers to the USA are based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://business.safety.google/adscontrollerterms/sccs/ .

Google Ads Remarketing

This website uses the functions of Google Ads Remarketing. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

With Google Ads Remarketing, we can assign people who interact with our online offer to specific target groups to subsequently display interest-based advertising to them within the Google advertising network (remarketing or retargeting).

Furthermore, advertising audiences created with Google Ads Remarketing can be linked to Google’s cross-device features. This allows interest-based, personalized advertising messages, tailored to you based on your previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., mobile phone), to also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC).

If you have a Google account, you can object to personalized advertising at the following link: https://adssettings.google.com/anonymous?hl=en.

The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information and the privacy policy can be found in Google’s privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en.

Audience Building with Customer Match

To create target audiences, we use, among other things, the customer matching feature of Google Ads Remarketing. In this process, we transfer certain customer data (e.g., email addresses) from our customer lists to Google. If the customers in question are Google users and logged into their Google account, they will be shown relevant advertising messages within the Google network (e.g., on YouTube, Gmail, or in the search engine).

Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

With the help of Google Conversion Tracking, Google and we can recognize whether the user has performed certain actions. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website were clicked how often and which products were viewed or purchased particularly frequently. This information is used to create conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who clicked on our ads and what actions they took. We do not receive any information that allows us to personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or similar recognition technologies for identification.

The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

You can find more information about Google Conversion Tracking in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

reCAPTCHA is used to verify whether data entry on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is done by a human or an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the website visitor’s behavior based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various pieces of information (e.g., IP address, the visitor’s time spent on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.

The data is stored and analyzed based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its website from abusive automated access and spam. If consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) of the German Telemedia Act (TMG), insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
